A mid-range phone in 2023 is a high-end phone like 5 years ago.
Differentiated from premium by battery consumption and heat produced in pocket when not in use.
Somebody is going to get their chicken cooked with one of these processors.
Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 already does that, it’s the first “mid range” chip to have basically the same performance as the previous gen flagship.
And the comedy is that 7 Gen 3 is inferior to it. RIP naming.
“Premium” “pro” “elite” and so on, is near everything now a days, it has lost so much meaning.
Remind me when they make a phone with the Z1 Extreme Pro chip.
So with the midrange having “premium performance”, what sort of performance will the high end have? Ultra premium?
Geez, what a non-statement. Low end smartphones have premium performance compared to high end smartphones 8 years ago. They’re basically just saying “technology will advance next year too”.
Is s23 ultra worth getting now or shall I wait for s24 ultra?
So no need to get premium smartphones any more? Or will the premium smartphones have a faster SoC anyway?
Yeah, thought so.
And Apple keeps bringing their flagship chip to SE.
No, it probably won’t. Premium devices are premium and cost premium for a reason, they won’t canibalize their own sales making weaker devices just as strong as their flagships.
Qualcomm doesn’t care. They get paid the same.
